Ingredients
This recipe needs just a handful of ingredients
-
- Sweet Potatoes are the base and we shred them with a box grater.
- Onion is a flavorful addition and again, use the box grater. Onion powder (or even green onions) can be substituted.
- Eggs & Flour A couple of eggs and a small spoonful of flour bind these so they hold together. Add salt (or seasoned salt), pepper and your favorites seasonings.
How to Make Sweet Potato Hash Browns
To make these you’ll shred the potatoes on a box grater and place in a bowl of very cold water. Drain very well and season per recipe below.
Fry & Bake
When making hashbrowns, it can be difficult to get the perfect browned crust and soft potatoes since they can burn easily.
The solution is a quick brown in the pan and finishing these in the oven. Perfect results every time and a great way to feed a family since a whole pan of hashbrowns finishes cooking at once!
Serve with sausage patties and poached eggs!
Kitchen Tip
Soaking potatoes in cold water removes the starches (we do this with roasted potatoes and french fries too). In this recipe, it keeps the potatoes from being gummy.
Once they’re finished soaking, drain them well and give them a little squeeze to remove as much water as possible.
Variations
Tips for Crispy Hash Browns
- Use an oil with a high smoke point, we prefer vegetable oil.
- Make sure the oil is well heated before adding the sweet potatoes to the pan.
- A cast-iron skillet is a great tool for making crispy hash browns (but not required).
- Finishing the potatoes in the oven ensures a perfectly crisp exterior while being soft inside.
Leftovers
- Sweet potato hash browns will keep in the refrigerator for up to four days or in the freezer for up to four months.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer. You can reheat in the microwave but they won’t be crisp.
- Store in an airtight container.
